In celebrating our many differences, Americans and Australians have always come together under a common belief in freedom, openness and optimism to unite our two countries. The Australia Benefit Dinner will celebrate and honour exemplary leaders of significance who advance and strengthen our alliance and inspire others to do the same through their visionary leadership and actions.

This special evening will bring together a distinguished audience of over 400 attendees at the Hilton Sydney, reflecting the depth and breadth of the American Australian partnership. From executive-level business leaders and senior government officials to renowned academics, media figures, and alumni of our scholarship programs, the room will represent the shared values and collaborative spirit that define our community. Their presence underscores the importance of our mission and the collective commitment to shaping a more connected and resilient future.

Funds raised from the dinner are integral in supporting the Association and the next generation of American and Australian leaders to strengthen industry and research capacity, develop solutions to pressing global issues, and foster international collaborations through our Graduate, Veteran and Arts scholarship programs. Many of our alumni have become notable thought leaders in their fields, and you will have the chance to hear from some of these innovative leaders during the evening.

Your crucial support allows us to continue fostering the talent of our future leaders.

All proceeds from this event directly support the American Australian Association and its Scholarship Programs – providing life-changing educational scholarships to Americans and Australians. Your participation helps open doors to new opportunities for our next generation.
